    (I cried like half a dozen more times while reading the book, too.)
    That is seriously one of my favorite lines in anything ever.

    Because I'm a giant ball of cheese.

    Not a moive but that one episode of Mr. Bean when
    He has his New Year's party and his "friends" leave him to go to another party by turning to clock ahead. I know he was a bad host but when he is lying in bed and hears the other party you just feel so sad...

    As for a movie, Willard, the remake. Just the intense feeling of suffering on the title character's part.

    As a child I did not understand how Mr Bean was a comedy at all. Seriously, that is some Godot-level shit right there.

    I also loved "Rocky Balboa" but the part that really get me is not the ending as much as
    when his son tries to convince him to back out of the fight and Rocky gives him the awesome speech about how to live courageously.

    Damn that is a great movie

    Dude! I'm totally with you on this one. Although you've got the plot a tad bit wrong.
    The worst part of me getting the plot wrong was I thought of the right plot and said "Nah, I'm confusing that with The Simpsons 'Furby' episode... it's probably this other way...."

    Firefly: Out of Gas
    At the very end, when all through the episode it's been doing flashbacks of how the crew got together, then it does one more of Mal first buying the ship. The seller guy's voice has been talking about how great the ship is all through the episode, and then you see that he'd been talking about a different one all along. The look on Mal's face when he sees Serenity for the first time... *sob*

    And, I'm probably going to get beaten for this TV show reference, but there was more than one part of Dragon Ball Z that got me choked up. Say what you will, I still love that show.

    Plus it has possibly the most heart-wrenching ending song of any movie in history...

    You know where I tear up , even know? At the very end of DB GT, were they are playing the song and flashing through the series.

    It's an awesome end, and to someone like me who watched every episode and grew up with it, it always gets to me.

    I know it's not a movie, but last week, while watching Band of Brothers, I cried during each episode. That show is just too brutal.
    It's weird because I've watched it previously, and it didn't have the same effect. This time, it was all tears and whimpering.

    Saving Private Ryan. They finally find him and tell him he's going home.

    Private Ryan: Hell, these guys deserve to go home as much as I do. They've fought just as hard.

    Captain Miller: Is that what I'm supposed to tell your mother when she gets another folded American flag?

    Private Ryan: You can tell her that when you found me, I was with the only brothers I had left. And that there was no way I was deserting them. I think she'd understand that.


    Gets me EVERY fucking time.

    Also, not what most people would consider a traditional sad moment in SPR, but the anguish and futility in the pilots voice as he tells the story about having to fly an overloaded plane...Goddamn.....

    /Edit/ Ahh found it.../edit/

    Lieutenant Dewindt: Yeah, Brigadier General Amend, deputy commander, 101st. Some fucking genius had the great idea of welding a couple of steel plates onto our deck to keep the general safe from ground fire. Unfortunately, they forgot to tell me about it until we were just getting airborne. Well, that's like trying to fly a freight train. OK? Gross overload. Trim characteristics all shot to hell. I nearly broke both my arms trying to keep her level. And when- and when we released, you know I cut as hard as I could, tried to gain some altitude and still keep her from stalling. We came down like a fucking meteor. And that is how we ended up. And the others, they stopped easy enough OK, though, you know? We were just-we were just too damn heavy, you know? The grass was wet, downward slope and all. 22 guys dead.

    Captain Miller: All that for a general?

    Lieutenant Dewindt: One man.

    Gods, yes. I have carefully avoided picking up the box set because I'm still pissed about the ending.
    Kiba and Cheza go through all that, watch their friends die one by one only to have Cheza die and Kiba walking through the winter wasteland with one of her flowers in his teeth before collapsing himself. I felt used.

Seems like if you get shot once, you're dead - no lingering deaths with your daemon huddling pitifully in your arms, just *thunk* *argh* *whoosh*. A battlefield full of the dying would just be so much more depressing when you add in wailing gerbils and dogs.

    Completely agree. Occasionally a happy ending is actually required, you know, to make you feel like you've just not wasted your time.

    When I was little I'd cry all the time in movies at the weirdest places. I cried during Homeward Bound (the old one) when the dog wouldn't eat at the table because he was taught not to. I think I might've cried during the Princess Bride when Wesley killed the Rat of Unusual Size. It sounded so pitiful... all it wanted was a little meal!

    None of that Titanic "ILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU" bullshit. He just totally goes off the deep end. Despite being fantastic it seemed a realistic reaction. Similar reaction when the tree is dying.
